Praying In God’s Will

The safest way to know that you are praying in God’s will is to pray God’s Word! George Mueller (1805-1898)
of Bristol, England was one of the mightiest men of prayer in his time. He raised over $8 million dollars (think of how much that would be in today’s money!) through prayer for
the several orphanages that he founded. But, George Mueller never prayed for anything just because he wanted it, or even if he felt that it was needed for God’s
work. Here’s what one author writes about Mueller’s prayer life:

“When it was laid upon George Mueller’s heart to pray for anything, he would search the Scriptures to find
if there was some promise that covered the case. Sometimes he would search the Scriptures for days before he presented his petition to God. And then when he found the promise, with
his open Bible before him and his finger upon that promise, he would plead that promise with an open Bible before him.” The Power of Prayer by R.A. Torrey
